Good day, I just wanted to thank everyone for their input. It looks like we will be going with Destroyitâs 0101HDP. http://www.destroyit-shredders.com/0101hdp_hard_drive_punch.html It punches a hole though the HDD and then allows you to drop in a lower bin. No tiny sharp pieces to contend with post destruction.

We also have about 200 hard drives per year that our desktop support staff recover from old machines that need to be destroyed as well. We have seen some of the hydraulic electric presses that are enclosed as well as manual presses that are made for this type of work. What are other institutions using to destroy HDDs securely and safely?
